Does a recall affect your Jaguar XF Series?

Not every Jaguar XF Series is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

Jaguar XF Series recalls by year

Recalls launched each year, 2008 to 2026

2016 had the most, with 6. A count of recalls is not a measure of safety: one recall can cover a handful of cars or tens of thousands.

Supplementary restraint system (SRS) may not perform as intended in a collision

Launched 14 March 2018 DVSA recall R/2018/052 Manufacturer ref. H090

Defect
The calibration of the Restraints control Module does not provide the correct fire signals in the event of a collision. In the event of a collision the supplementary Restraint System may not provide the level of protection required to the driver and front passenger and front seat occupants leading to an increased risk of injury.

Side curtain airbag may not deploy

Launched 31 July 2017 DVSA recall R/2017/197 Manufacturer ref. H033

Defect
The electrical harness from the Restraints Control Module (RCM) to side crash sensors has been incorrectly orientated. The RCM signal wire for the right hand C Pillar impact sensor is wired to the left hand C Pillar impact sensor and vice versa. In the event of a collision requiring the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) to deploy the curtain airbags they may not deploy or deploy later than design intent which can lead to increased injuries to the rear outboard seat occupant.
Remedy

Fuel hose may leak

Launched 19 May 2017 DVSA recall R/2017/143 Manufacturer ref. H016

Defect
The fuel return hose may leak. Increased fuel odour may be noticed and drivers may also observe liquid fuel puddles underneath the vehicle. It is possible that fuel may leak onto the road surface which can present a skid hazard to other road users increasing the risk of a crash. Should leaking fuel come into contact with a sufficiently hot surface in the engine bay there will be an increased risk of fire.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel return hose.

Fuel may leak / risk of fire

Launched 30 November 2016 DVSA recall R/2016/250 Manufacturer ref. J077

Defect
It has been identified that the fuel delivery line/pipe may not have been installed to the correct specification. This could result in the incorrect tolerance between the fuel line/pipe and the vehicle under shield and the body. This can result in a chaffing condition and fuel leak. This will be highlighted to the driver by either a smell of fuel or pooling of fuel under the vehicle.
Remedy
Recall the affected vehicles to inspect the clearance between the under shield and the body and carry out remedial work as required which may only be the fitment of additional retaining clips or the replacement of any damaged fuel line/pipe.

Engine may cut out and fail to restart

Launched 24 March 2016 DVSA recall R/2016/037 Manufacturer ref. J062

Defect
The under bonnet low pressure fuel feed hose may detach from the fuel filter. A fuel smell may be noticed due to fuel leaking into the engine bay and in the event of hose detachment the engine will cut out. Once the engine has cut out the brake vacuum reservoir will be depleted after 2-3 brake pedal depressions and the vehicle will lose brake power assistance however foundation brakes continue to operate. The engine cannot be re-started. Engine cut out with minimal warning could potentially cause a crash.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and add a spring wire retention clip to the low pressure fuel feed hose joint.

2015 1 recall

Vehicle may cut out

Launched 8 April 2015 DVSA recall R/2015/037 Manufacturer ref. J051

Defect
A fault could cause the fuel tank fuel pump to stop working. This will cause fuel starvation to the engine and will result in the engine cutting out without warning.
Remedy
Fitting of an overlay wiring harness. The overlay wiring harness reconfigures the electrical distribution to the FPDM to utilize a relay to supply the fuel pump power feed. The relay is not affected by the in rush current drawn by the fuel pump and so ensures robust operation.

2014 3 recalls

Risk of fire

Launched 27 October 2014 DVSA recall R/2014/145 Manufacturer ref. J044

Defect
The positive cable fixing to the alternator may come loose and lead to an elevated risk of fire. Additionally there are concerns raised regarding the fixings for the engine mounted belt driven ancillaries. If the fixings fail power assistance to the steering can be lost and more input from the driver will be required to steer the vehicle.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and torque the front ancillary fixings to the correct specification.

Braking efficiency may be affected

Launched 29 May 2014 DVSA recall R/2014/065 Manufacturer ref. J036

Defect
It has been identified that the right hand rear brake pipe can suffer a dynamic fouling condition on a redundant bracket on the rear subframe. If not corrected this can eventually result in the pipe wearing through. This condition will result in loss of brake fluid which will illuminate a warning light on the instrument panel. However there is the possibility of the reduction of braking effluence due to the loss of one brake circuit and possible instability of the vehicle.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicles to check the brake pipe and manipulate the redundant bracket on the rear subframe. If the brake pipe is found to be damaged then the brake pipe will be replaced.

Directional control may be compromised

Launched 4 April 2014 DVSA recall R/2014/041 Manufacturer ref. J037

Defect
A concern has been identified where in the event of prolonged aggressive driving it is possible that the rear toe link will separate from the rear sub-frame. In this event vehicle stability will be compromised and degree of directional control minimised which increases the risk of an accident.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the nut and washer assembly on the rear toe link with components of revised design.

2013 2 recalls

Fire may occur

Launched 27 August 2013 DVSA recall R/2013/092 Manufacturer ref. J033

Defect
It is possible that a leak can occur between the injector spill rail connection and the plastic fuel return pipe. This can cause leakage of fuel which can either pool on the engine cylinder head and then become deposited onto the road surface where it could cause a skid risk to other motorist or if the fuel comes into contact with extremely hot engine components an exhaust manifold for instance it is possible that an under bonnet fire could ensue.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicles inspect the fuel spill rail/return pipe and if required replace the spill rail with a new modified rail.

Engine may cut out

Launched 6 August 2013 DVSA recall R/2013/090 Manufacturer ref. J034

Defect
It has been established that the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) hoses and resonator pipe have not been assembled to the correct specification. It is therefore possible that under certain conditions the CAC hose can detach from the resonator. This could result in the engine cutting out and possible loss of vacuum assistance for the brake servo.
Remedy
Recall the affected vehicle and rectify the issue.

Fuel may leak

Launched 10 December 2012 DVSA recall R/2012/131 Manufacturer ref. J027

Defect
Jaguar engineers identified a crack present in the fuel outlet flange on components returned from the market. If a crack is present customers are most likely to detect fuel odour when the vehicle is static from the outside of the vehicle. However in extreme circumstances there could be a pool of fuel underneath the rear of the vehicle which in the presence of an ignition source could lead to a fire.
Remedy
Replace the fuel outlet flange.

Power assistance may be lost - fire risk

Launched 10 June 2011 DVSA recall R/2011/025 Manufacturer ref. J018

Defect
The corrosion protection on certain power steering pipes may not be to specification. This could result in pin holes being formed which can leak power steering fluid. Should the power steering fluid contact hot surfaces there is a possibility that fire could occur.

Engine may cut out

Launched 23 August 2010 DVSA recall R/2010/103 Manufacturer ref. J017

Defect
The engine may cut out due to insufficient fuel being supplied. The fuel pump relay may not be energised following an engine start up cycle in which case the in-tank fuel pump will deliver insufficient fuel for the engine to run correctly.
Remedy
